RUNRMTCMD

["John Fields" <taf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, group!:

 

I'm trying to display a blueprint of a Inventory Item, the Inventory file is on my AS400 my Blueprint file is on a silicon Graphics Unix Box.

 

 I have an RPGLE program that displays the AS400 info on the screen then by pressing a Cmd key it executes  the RUNRMTCMD from a CL program on my AS400.

 

 I have 2 questions and wondering if anyone can help.

 

Drive C: is the local drive on my P/C "heracles" Drive X: is on my Unix Box                                        

 

My CL program PHOTOCP is listed below:

 Columns . . . :   QGPL/QCLSRC                                                    PHOTOCP
        *************** Beginning of data *************************************
0001.00 PGM                                                                    
0002.00              RUNRMTCMD  CMD('C:\photo.bat X:\1al\001--.tif') +         
0003.00                           RMTLOCNAME('heracles' *IP)                   
0004.00 ENDPGM                                                                 
        ****************** End of data ****************************************
                                                                               
Here are my questions:

 

    (1)    When I run my CL program Drive X on  the Unix Box I get an error message that the file does not exist or cannot be  found when I move the file to one of my local drives it works fine, what am I doing wrong?

 

    (2)    Why does RUNRMTCMD run slowly is there a faster way to do what I'm trying to do?

 

                                                                                   
Thanks in advance

John
